Editorial: What about Trump is worth betraying basic principles?
Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2020 -- Donald Trump's presidency, like his life, has been the epitome of dishonesty, selfishness, personal indulgence, pettiness, bigotry and deceit. Yet, Graham took to Facebook to liken to Judas, the 10 Republicans in the U.S. House who voted to impeach President Donald Trump. "It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that (House) Speaker (Democrat Nancy) Pelosi promised for this betrayal." Truth is, it was a vote of conscience and a stand for decency and democracy by the 10 GOP legislators.

GUEST EDITORIAL: The gloriously growing irrelevance of Franklin Graham
Sunday, April 28, 2019 -- In a recent tweet, Franklin Graham blasted Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for having the nerve to be publicly gay. Homosexuality, said Graham, was not something to be "flaunted." He called on Buttigieg to instead repent. It was a typically ripe bite of bigotry from Graham.
